Imho

I've been down this road (no pun intended) when I had 19's on my 1st Gen xB...

1) The ride suffers big time - like riding cross-country in an 1800's wagon with wooden wheels must've been like.

2) The power and mileage suffer. Little four bangers don't have the torque to spin such heavy rim/tire combinations.

3) Rims and tires in this size are usually exponentially more than smaller set-ups. Moving up to 19's & 20's will cost alot more than, say, 17 to 18's.

4) You constantly have to scan the road ahead for potholes and other imperfections that might damage your rims or cut your thin sidewalls.

Save the big rims for show cars and motors with enough torque to spin them...

i would like to ask scathma... you said you have been down that road before. my question is... the tires and wheels that you have on the xb, were they the $5,000 plus per set or not? or are they the least expensive set that anyone can get? just asking because i wanna know if i need to save more.

I have Axis Mesh 2 rims and Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires. That weren't close to five grand... maybe half that?
